We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of The North Shore in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
